Robb, Chris, and I did manage to align our schedules once this season (so far) and did some herping in Tuskegee National Forest on Thanksgiving weekend. We were targeting Pseudotriton, as both muds and reds have been found in the area. We've all found P. montanus there before but were hoping to do so again while adding P. ruber to our list of finds at this site. The Salamander Gods did not deign to bless us with Pseudotriton, but we made some pretty good finds, considering the short period of time we spent looking.

I'm still hoping to get the tiger salamander monkey off my back this winter and will likely head back to a smallmouth salamander site for better photos of that rarely-seen Alabama ambystomatid.

As always, thanks for looking!

As always, I love your images, Adam. The green sally and the reds are just gorgeous. I'm jealous of the four-toed, never ever found one.Tuskegee over Turkey Day weekend sounds awesome...you guys do holidays right.

Thanks, Tamara! You need to pick a time this March or April and head just a little northward. We will take you out and get your four-toed, among other caudates-of-interest.

It is on, bro. April 9-16 is my spring break. Will holler at you again closer to target time regarding a day or 2 or 3. If you can throw a cave sally into the mix, I'd be totally blissed-out.
